The Terror of Evidence

The Terror of Evidence

Marcus Steinweg; Thomas Hirschhorn

MIT Press
2017
pokkari
Meditations, maxims, aphorisms, notes, and comments address topics that range from pathos and genius to careerism and club sandwiches.Marcus Steinweg's capacity to implicate the other is beautiful, bright, precise, and logical, grounded in everyday questions, which to him are always big questions.-from the foreword by Thomas HirschhornThe houses of philosophy need not be palaces.-Marcus Steinweg, "House," The Terror of EvidenceThis is the first book by the prolific German philosopher Marcus Steinweg to be available in English translation. The Terror of Evidence offers meditations, maxims, aphorisms, notes, and comments-191 texts ranging in length from three words to three pages-the deceptive simplicity of which challenges the reader to think. "Thinking means getting lost again and again," Steinweg observes. Reality is the ever-broken promise of consistency; "the terror of evidence" arises from the inconsistency before our eyes. Thinking is a means of coping with that inconsistency. Steinweg is known for his collaborations with Thomas Hirschhorn and the lectures and texts he has provided for many of Hirschhorn's projects. This translation of The Terror of Evidence includes a foreword by Hirschhorn written especially for the MIT Press edition. The subjects of these short texts vary widely. ("The table of contents is in itself excessive and ambitious," writes Hirschhorn.) They include pathos, passivity, genius, resentment, love, horror, catastrophe, and racism. And club sandwiches (specifically, Foucault's love for this American specialty), blow jobs, and dance. Also: "Two Kinds of Obscurantism," "Putting Words in Spinoza's Mouth," "Note on Rorty," and "Doubting Doubt." The Terror of Evidence can be considered a guidebook to thinking: the daily journey of exploration, the incessant questioning of reality that Steinweg sees as the task of philosophy.

Chasing the American Dream

Chasing the American Dream

Mark Robert Rank; with Thomas A. Hirschl; and with Kirk A. Foster

Oxford University Press Inc
2014

The American Dream lies at the heart and soul of the country. In Chasing the American Dream, Mark Robert Rank, Thomas A. Hirschl, and Kirk A. Foster provide a new and innovative look into the well being of the dream in today's society. They combine for the first time interviews with dozens of Americans, along with a longitudinal study covering 40 years of income dynamics for the national population. By weaving these approaches together, they create a vibrant tapestry upon which to tell the story of the American Dream. Their findings reveal a number of surprises. For most Americans, the meaning of the American Dream lies not in wealth and riches, but rather in economic security, pursuing one's passions, and looking forward toward the future. Yet nearly 80 percent of the population will experience significant economic insecurity at some point between the ages of 25 and 60. In addition, the authors show that the risk of economic vulnerability has been increasing substantially over the past four decades. Yet in spite of these trends, Americans remain upbeat about achieving the American Dream at some point during their lifetimes, although many will struggle to do so. The authors provide an innovative approach for thinking about and increasing the accessibility of the American Dream in the future. Chasing the American Dream provides readers with a new understanding into the dynamics that shape our fortunes, and a deeper insight into the centrality and importance of the American Dream for the future of the country.

Den 6 mars 1974 fick Sverige en ny regeringsform. Den var en mödosamt hopsnickrad kompromiss som antogs efter flera decenniers utredande.Den tidigare regeringsformen av år 1809 var sedan länge förlegad. Nu ville man modernisera grundlagen så att den bättre återspeglade det faktiska statsskicket. Principen om folksuveränitet, det vill säga att den offentliga makten skulle utgå från folket, ersatte den gamla principen om maktdelning. I denna bok analyseras den författningspolitiska utvecklingen sedan 1974 års regeringsform antogs. Mycket har hänt. Sverige har blivit medlem i EU. Europakonventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna har införlivats i det svenska rättssystemet. Det har bidragit till att de medborgerliga fri- och rättigheterna stärkts och att domstolarnas makt ökat. Det politiska landskapet har också förändrats, vilket gjort att parlamentarismen har blivit mindre stabil. Regeringsformen har sedan den antogs uppdaterats vid några tillfällen, inte minst genom en omfattande grundlagsreform 2010. Boken är utgiven med anledning av regeringsformens femtioårsjubileum. Den är skriven av några av landets ledande experter under ledning av Tommy Möller, professor i statsvetenskap vid Stockholms universitet: juristerna Thomas Bull, Johan Hirschfeldt, Joakim Nergelius och Karin Åhman samt statsvetarna Hanna Bäck, Annika Fredén, David Karlsson, Johannes Lindvall, Tommy Möller, Olof Petersson, Göran Sundström och Jan Teorell. Tillsammans täcker de in olika aspekter av hur den svenska regeringsformen har fungerat under det halvsekel som passerat sedan den infördes.

Mänskliga rättigheter i det offentliga Sverige tar ett helhetsgrepp om det ansvar som det allmänna har för att säkerställa respekten för de mänskliga rättigheterna. Ledande forskare och specialister förklarar och diskuterar frågan om vad de mänskliga rättigheterna innebär rättsligt, politiskt och etiskt. Flera grundläggande rättighetsperspektiv relateras till konkreta former av det offentliga uppdraget. Både internationella åtaganden och svensk rättslig reglering presenteras i ljuset av det ansvar som legitim förvaltning av demokratin innebär.Vad kräver respekten för de mänskliga rättigheterna av det offentliga Sverige? Hur arbetar vi i praktiken så att de mänskliga rättigheterna skyddar individer och stärker demokratin och rättsstaten? Vilka rättsliga, politiska och moraliska normer gäller, och hur ska dessa tolkas och implementeras? Författarna diskuterar dessa och andra frågor i relation till nutida forskning och svensk förvaltningspraxis.Denna andra upplaga har uppdaterats genomgående med hänsyn till den rättsliga utvecklingen.”Vi behöver göra de mänskliga rättigheterna till våra, låta dem genomsyra alla våra beslut och handlingar. Demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter är inget som erövrats en gång för alla och sedan bara finns där. Mänskliga rättigheter måste ständigt utvecklas och det är vi, medborgare och offentligt anställda, som är ansvariga för att det görs.”Ur förordet av Elisabet Fura

Sedan det moderna forskningsuniversitetet såg dagens ljus för två hundra år sen har forskning och vetenskap gjort bevisligen världen bättre. Kunskap, kreativitet, kritik och kollegialitet har utgjort nyckel till denna exempellösa framgång. Akademins framgång har dock inte vilat på en demokratisk-politisk logik som genomsyrar dagens samhälle, utan på en parallell och alldeles egen verklighet där forskarna i sitt sökande har drivits av sitt engagemang och sin nyfikenhet. När denna anda får råda inom vetenskapen blir det också bra för samhället i stort. Men i dagens projektsamhälle med sina krav på en kortsiktig resultatleverans framstår akademins sätt att fungera som provocerande. Hur kunde det bli så och vad gör vi åt det? I denna bok söker ett antal engagerade forskare, tidigare universitetsrektorer och ämbetsmän svar på dessa frågor. De är förskräckta över en utveckling där djup kunskap, vildsint kreativitet, kritiska samtal och kollegialt ansvar kastas på sophögen, denna utveckling får inte fortsätta! Då rycker vi undan mattan för mänskliga framsteg och ett civiliserat samhälle. Vi måste försvara de värden som akademin står på sedan lång tid tillbaka - inte för att de är traditionella, utan för att de är de modernaste vi har.

Here is the story of Shankspeare - author of such theatre classics as Loins Labors Lost, King Porkrind the Third, A Midsummer Night's Pig Roast and MacBoar, and the creator of such unforgettable characters as Julius Razorback, Brute Chops, Katherina Pigiron, Swineo and Drooliet, and Hamhock, Prince of Denmark - as told by pigs Blasphemy? More like a delightful farce with a large, flexible cast. And the play actually sheds light on the famous Swan of Avon. We follow Shankspeare from a humble birth in Fatsford-on-Avon, to fame in the city of Loin-don, and ending with the monument in Westhamster Abbey. This action-packed comedy is filled with puns, satire, silliness, and even brief scenes from Shakespeare given a new porcine twist

This in-depth and original study examines 100 productions and analyses why George Abbott's name became synonymous with the 'golden age' of Broadway. What did Abbott contribute? How did he work? How did he innovate the industry? How did he survive so long? All of these inquiries, and more, lead to the most fundamental question of all: what exactly was the famous “Abbott touch”? For sixty years, George Abbott was a vital force in the American theatre. As an actor, playwright, director, librettist, play doctor, and producer, he laid his "touch" on approximately 100 New York productions, from The Pajama Game and Damn Yankees through to Once Upon a Mattress and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Spanning this incredible figure’s work chronologically, each chapter of The Abbott Touch examines a period of creativity in his life, culminating in how he became the famous multi-hyphenate artist he is now celebrated as. Beginning with his early career in 1913 through to his work on the 1994 revival of Damn Yankees, this book analyses his key contributions to his primary works, all of which have relied on his genius. The first study of its kind, The Abbott Touch provides key insights into the working life of one of the 20th Century's most prolific theatre practitioners, as well as a vital history for theatre scholars and fans alike.

What links the popular songs "You'll Never Walk Alone", "Send in the Clowns", "Memory" and "I Am What I Am"? They all originated in Broadway musicals. Song of the Season is for those who believe that the score is at the heart of a musical and is the essential building block on which the rest of a show is built. Through a systematic historical survey from 1891 to 2023 it argues that the best musicals survive because of their songs, from early 20th century classics such as Show Boat and Oklahoma! through to the contemporary sound of Dear Evan Hansen and Hamilton. looking at outstanding songs from each Broadway season, the development and history of the musical is illustrated with a fresh perspective. As song styles and popular music tastes changed throughout the decades this structure charts the progress of American showtunes alongside popular music forms as songs evolved from the waltz and ragtime to jazz, rock, rap and hip-hop. Factual analysis and historical context combine to offer a rich picture of the American songbook from Irving Berlin to Elton John. Song of the Season paints a fresh picture for musical theatre students and fans alike, illustrating significant changes in the form through the music. Analyzed in an accessible and engaging way that doesn't rely on music theory knowledge, and including a link to playlist where all the 'songs of the seasons' can be listened to, it is a must-have for those looking to expand their knowledge of the form and trace the social history of the American showtune.
